Shouldn't there be a reference to the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society? It was a spin-off of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Dude1818 (talk) 17:13, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Moved stray comment

I moved this stray comment from the article space to this page:

• My great great grandfather Lindley Coates helped form the Clarkson Anti-slavery Society and was briefly President of the American Anti-Slavery Society before William Lloyd Garrison. See Fredrick Douglas writings -Series 3.

Does anyone know about this?--CaroleHenson (talk) 08:59, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Is this long list appropriate?

This long list of names:

Noted members included Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Theodore Dwight Weld, Lewis Tappan, James G. Birney, Lydia Maria Child, Maria Weston Chapman, Abby Kelley Foster, Stephen Symonds Foster, Henry Highland Garnet, Samuel Cornish, James Forten, Charles Lenox Remond, Sarah Parker Remond, Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Robert Purvis, Augustine Clarke, and Wendell Phillips, John Greenleaf Whittier, among others.

seems a poor fit to the lead of the article. NotYourFathersOldsmobile (talk) 07:15, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Numbers of slaves?

It's not clear from the article if there were 200 or 20 million slaves in the USA in the 1850s. Could some expert give an idea of the numbers, please?78.17.16.157 (talk) 09:31, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Peer Review

The article does a good job organizing information in a neutral tone. The article does well with giving an overview of each article within the constitution. The article could continue to update information in the The Impact Today section. This would help the reader understand how history connects to present day. In light of thinking about ideas I could adopt, I think summarizing the articles of the constitution was an idea. I could add a summary section to my article, because it doesn’t have one. Also, the lead section was brief and concise, had clear structure, reliable sources, and neutral language. I feel the lead gives a good overview of the founding members of the AASS. The lead doesn’t seem to overshadow any points other the other, and that gives the editors room to organize the article as needed. The transition between article is also clear, well organized, and well balanced. Johnnysnow2106 (talk) 00:31, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review

This is a really good article. It is very detailed and carefully researched. The “Background” section, is great because it provides readers with context; I think maybe a few parts of it could be deleted since it is just background, but it is definitely really good. Moving on, the article is pretty neutral which is great. I am actually going through mine again to delete any adjectives that might be too telling. I saw a few adjectives there so I think that could be helpful. Also, I think maybe some more background on William Lloyd Garrison will be good to add.

All the links works, so, that’s great. The sources are also recent which is good. There is one from 1995 which may or may not be an issue. It seems to be pretty objective, so, I don’t think it is a problem. Really great job, I enjoyed reading it! (GabriellaFernandez0809 (talk) 15:23, 19 November 2020 (UTC))
